Open Practice

Open practice at Thornwood on Saturday, September 12, the day before Round 18 of the USMX and WNYMA series. Saturday open practice runs 10 AM to 3 PM at $30 per rider. Big bikes and quads go 10 AM to 1 PM, then 50cc, 65cc, 85cc, 100cc and mini quads take 1 PM to 3 PM. Saturday practice is open to everyone, no membership or day pass needed. Gates open Friday 5 PM to 10 PM, Saturday 8 AM to 10 PM and Sunday from 7 AM. Race sign-ups run Saturday 6 to 7:30 PM and Sunday 7 to 9 AM. The riders meeting is at 8:30 AM and every rider has to be there, with practice immediately after. Admission is $15 per person for the whole weekend, free for non-racing kids 10 and under. A 2026 UpState Motocross / WNYMA membership is $30, or $20 for each extra family member under 18, and day passes are $10. If you are racing three or more rounds the membership is the cheaper route and skips the paperwork queue. Campers are welcome from Friday 5 PM through Sunday night. Sign in at the gate and get your wristbands. There is a food truck or concessions on race weekends. Bring cash. Thornwood is cash only because there is no internet at the pavilion. The nearest ATMs are in town at the Circle K and Bucks Restaurant.
